.DISCUSSION...
Issued at 130 PM CST Wed Nov 4 2026

Breezy WNW winds prevailed this afternoon in the wake of yesterday`s
storm system while clear conditions developed across the area. Winds
will diminish tonight while a progressive shortwave trough emerges
from the Rockies during the early morning hours on Thu. It is a
compact system that will bring some shower activity to parts of
southern Kansas on Thursday. Rainfall amounts are expected to remain
light. Increasing clouds can be expected as we move through the
overnight hours which could keep minimum temperatures slightly
higher over parts of southern KS. Clouds and shower activity along
with some weak low-level cold air advection in the wake of the
frontal boundary will bring cooler conditions to the area on Thu
with highs mostly in the 50s.

This progressive system will exit the area Thursday night with
clearing conditions anticipated. Shortwave ridging will arrive in
it`s wake while persisting into early next week resulting in mild
and dry weather conditions. Above average temperatures will return
by Sunday and persist through the middle of the week.
